The present application is based on, and claims priority from Taiwanese Application Number 104123197, filed Jul. 17, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
1. Technical Field
This disclosure relates to dehumidifying base material manufacturing techniques, and to a dehumidifying base material, a dehumidifying base material forming device, and a method for forming a dehumidifying base material.
2. Description of Related Art
A dehumidifying base material of a dehumidifying component in a dehumidifying drying apparatus is produced by manual adhesion. When the dehumidifying base material is manually adhered, an adhesive film will be adhered unevenly, an absorbent material is likely to be fell, and the processing speed is too slow. As a result, the dehumidifying base material has unstable quality and insufficient efficiency. An inorganic gel, such as silicon oxide and aluminum oxide and an organic gel such as poly vinyl butyral (PVB) that are used to make the dehumidifying base material suffer from secondary hardening in a high temperature environment, which results in a component distortion problem.
Given the above, the market needs a device that forms a dehumidifying base material automatically, so as to promote the formation quality of the dehumidifying base material and the efficiency of dehumidifying components. During the automatic formation of a dehumidifying base material, it is the primary consideration that an absorbent material has to be adhered to an adhesive film evenly. Preferably, the absorbent material is adhered to the entire surface of the adhesive film evenly. During the formation of the dehumidifying base material, in order for the absorbent material to be adhered to the entire surface of the adhesive film evenly, the supplying amount of the absorbent material has to be controlled accurately. Too less the amount of the absorbent material cannot be adhered to the adhesive film securely, which results in weak efficiency. Too much the amount of the absorbent material will have a portion thereof fell from the adhesive film and is wasted.
Therefore, providing a dehumidifying base material forming device that forms dehumidifying base material automatically and applies an absorbent material onto the entire surface of an adhesive film without overusing the absorbent material is becoming one of the important issues in the art.
The disclosure provides a dehumidifying base material, comprising: a metal layer; an upper adhesive film attached to a side surface of the metal layer; a lower adhesive film attached to another side surface of the metal layer; an upper absorbent material layer attached to the upper adhesive film; and a lower absorbent material layer attached to the lower adhesive film.
The disclosure further provides a device for forming a dehumidifying base material, comprising: a material placement part configured to place a raw base material comprising a metal layer, an upper adhesive film, a lower adhesive film, an upper release film, and a lower release film; an upper release film rolling part configured to roll the upper release film and positioned around a travelling route of the raw base material beyond the material placement part; an upper absorbent adhesive part configured to discharge the absorbent material onto the upper adhesive film and positioned around a travelling route of the raw base material beyond the upper release film rolling part after the upper release film being released, the upper absorbent adhesive part further comprising a first material bucket having an absorbent material contained therein and a first material discharging seat; a lower release film rolling part configured to roll the lower release film and positioned around a traveling route of the raw base material beyond the upper absorbent adhesive part; a lower absorbent adhesive part configured to discharge the absorbent material onto the lower adhesive film and positioned around a travelling route of the raw base material beyond the lower release film rolling part after the lower release film is released, the lower absorbent adhesive part further comprising a second material bucket having the absorbent material contained therein and a second material discharging seat; a roller set disposed along the travelling route of the raw base material or a travelling route of the dehumidifying base material and being in contact with the raw base material or the dehumidifying base material to drive the raw base material or the dehumidifying base material to move forward; a compression roller set positioned at the travelling route of the dehumidifying base material beyond the lower absorbent adhesive part and being in contact with the absorbent material of the dehumidifying base material to compress the dehumidifying base material having the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film with the absorbent material applied thereon; and a base material rolling part positioned at an end of the travelling route of the dehumidifying base material beyond the compression roller set and configured to roll the dehumidifying base material compressed by the compression roller set.
The disclosure yet further provides a method for forming a dehumidifying base material, comprising: providing a raw base material comprising a metal layer, an upper adhesive film, a lower adhesive film, an upper release film and a lower release film; partially releasing the upper release film and the lower release film of the raw base material, and rolling an end of the upper release film and an end of the lower release film onto different rolling parts; passing the raw base material to different material discharging seats horizontally and vertically; rolling one end of the raw base material onto an end rolling part; adjusting rotation speeds of motors to continuously release the upper release film and apply an absorbent material onto the upper adhesive film of the raw base material; continuously releasing the lower release film of the raw base material; applying the absorbent material onto the lower adhesive film of the raw base material to form the dehumidifying base material; compressing the dehumidifying base material having the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film with the absorbent material applied thereonto; and rolling the compressed the dehumidifying base material.
In the device for forming the dehumidifying base material and the method for forming the dehumidifying base material according to the disclosure, a raw base material comprising a metal layer, an upper adhesive film, a lower adhesive film, an upper release film and a lower release film is provided. Also provided is a device comprising a material placement part, an upper release film rolling part, an upper absorbent adhesive part, a lower release film rolling part, a lower absorbent adhesive part, a roller set, a compression roller set and a base material rolling part. Through a simple process, an absorbent material is applied onto the upper and lower adhesive films. A feller gage adjusts the position of the controlling panel, and a material discharging interval that corresponds to the particle diameter of only one absorbent material exists when the raw base material passes the upper and lower absorbent adhesive parts. The absorbent material can fall and be applied onto the upper and lower adhesive films in a great amount. Since the material discharging interval is around the particle diameter of the absorbent material, no excess absorbent material will fall onto the upper and lower adhesive films. Therefore, the problems that much of the absorbent material is wasted and the absorbent material is applied unevenly are solved. As such, the dehumidifying base material can be formed automatically. Also, the raw material is saved, and the yield is increased.

The compression roller set 39 is positioned at a travelling route P of the dehumidifying base material 1 beyond the lower absorbent adhesive part 38, and is in contact with the absorbent material 14 of the dehumidifying base material 1, to compress the dehumidifying base material 1 having the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film that have the absorbent material applied thereonto.
Please also refer to the raw base material 2 of
Lastly, the dehumidifying base material 1 passes the upper end of the fourth roller 44 and compressed by the compression roller set 39, to compress the absorbent material 14 flat, such that the absorbent material 14 is securely adhered to the upper adhesive film 221 and the lower adhesive film 222, and the base material rolling part 32 can roll the dehumidifying base material 1. Before the absorbent material 14 (as shown in

A hole 3521a is formed in a center inside the upper material discharging seat 3521 to receive the absorbent material 14 fell from the first material bucket 351. In an embodiment, the upper material discharging seat 3521 and the lower material discharging seat 3522 are spaced at an interval equal to a particle diameter of the absorbent material 14 added by a total thickness of the upper adhesive film 221, the metal layer 21, the lower adhesive film 222 and the lower release film 232. The feller gage 353 adjusts the interval according to the thickness of the raw base material 2, in order for the raw base material 2 to pass through the interval. The controlling panel 354 controls the absorbent material 14 to be discharged through the hole 3521a of the first upper material discharging seat 3521 onto the upper adhesive film 221 evenly.

The feller gage adjusts the thickness of the raw base material 2 according to the interval, in order for the raw base material 2 to pass through the interval. The controlling panel controls the absorbent material 14 to be discharged through the hole of the second upper material discharging seat onto the lower adhesive film 222 evenly.

When the raw base material 2 passes the second release roller 36, the lower release film 232 is released from the raw base material 2, and rolled by the lower release film rolling part 37. Then, the raw base material 2 passes under the third roller 43 and changes its travelling direction, and vertically enters the lower absorbent adhesive part 38, such that the volume and size of the dehumidifying base material forming device 3 can be reduced. The absorbent material 14 in the lower absorbent adhesive part 38 is applied onto the lower adhesive film 222 of the raw base material 2 laterally. The upper and lower adhesive films 221 and 222 of the raw base material 2 have the absorbent material applied thereonto. Therefore, the preliminary dehumidifying base material 1 is complete.
The dehumidifying base material 1 having the absorbent material 14 applied onto two sides thereof passes above the fourth roller 44 and changes its travelling direction. The compression roller set 39 compresses the dehumidifying base material 1, allowing the absorbent material 14 to be securely applied onto the upper adhesive film 221 and the lower adhesive film 222 of the raw base material 2. Lastly, the dehumidifying base material rolling part 32 rolls the dehumidifying base material 1. In an embodiment, a detector is disposed at the dehumidifying base material rolling part 32, and detects the diameter of the rolled dehumidifying base material 1, to determine whether the dehumidifying base material 1 is manufactured completely.
Referring to
In step S92, upon performance of a formation process of a dehumidifying base material, the upper release film and the lower release film of the raw base material are released first. The upper release film and the lower release film are used to isolate the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film, respectively, from being adhered to external things. Therefore, in order to join an absorbent material with the raw base material, the upper release film and the lower release film of the raw base material have to be released first, of course, such that the absorbent material can be adhered to the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film. The released upper release film and lower release film are rolled onto an upper release film rolling part and a lower release film rolling part, respectively. The raw base material with the upper release film and the lower release film released horizontally passes an upper material discharging seat and vertically passes a lower material discharging seat. The raw base material is then rolled onto a dehumidifying base material rolling part.
In step S93, the rotations speeds of motors are adjusted, and the absorbent material is applied onto the upper adhesive film of the raw base material after the upper adhesive film is released. In step S93, the absorbent material is applied onto the upper adhesive film after the upper adhesive film is released. As shown in
In step S94, the lower release film of the raw base material is released, and the absorbent material is adhered to the lower adhesive film. In step S94, the lower release film is released from the raw base material.
In step S95, the absorbent material is applied onto the lower adhesive film of the raw base material, and a dehumidifying base material is formed. Following step S94, after the lower release film is released, the absorbent material is also applied onto the lower adhesive film evenly. One of ordinary skills in the art can refer to
In step S96, the dehumidifying base material having the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film that have the absorbent material applied thereonto is compressed. In step S96, the absorbent material onto the raw base material that is going to be formed as the dehumidifying base material is further compressed. Since in steps S93 and S95 the absorbent material is fell onto the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film and only the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film are used to adhere the absorbent material to the upper adhesive film and the lower adhesive film, in step S96 the basic dehumidifying base material is compressed by the compression roller set 39 shown in
In step S97, the compressed the dehumidifying base material is rolled. Also refer to
In addition to improving the quality of a dehumidifying base material, the disclosure further provides a dehumidifying base material forming device and a method for forming a dehumidifying base material. An absorbent material is applied onto an upper adhesive film and a lower adhesive film of a raw base material in a simple process. A feller gage adjusts the position of the controlling panel, and a material discharging interval that corresponds to the particle diameter of only one absorbent material exists when the raw base material passes the upper and lower absorbent adhesive parts. The absorbent material can be fell and applied onto the upper and lower adhesive films in a great amount. Since the material discharging interval is about the particle diameter of the absorbent material, no excess absorbent material will be fell onto the upper and lower adhesive films. Therefore, the problems of the prior art that much of the absorbent material is wasted and the absorbent material is applied unevenly are solved. As such, the dehumidifying base material can be formed automatically, and the raw material is saved and the yield is increased.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed embodiments. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope of the disclosure being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
